I'm currently working on Armando's rhumba with my band. We're doing it in sort of a simplified Michel Camilo arrangement.
I play bass and the piano player and I are working out a melody harmony thing.It's a hard tune and I need practice especially soloing over the B section. I don't have the BIAB file for that song. Can someone here help me out?
Thanks

http://www.mindformusic.com/public/pdf/ArmandonsRhumba.pdf Click on this for the chart, so you can enter into BIAB. When you download this chart there a few wrong chords in the chart. Bars 23-43-63-83 should be Abmi7/Bb Bb7 Eb. The A in bars 52 and 72 should be an Ab. Later, Ray

Hey Ray, I loved that chart of 'Armando's Rhumba'. Was that done with Band-in-a-Box? It certainly looks like it but I have never been able to produce anything as good as that, especially the combination of double staves (treble and bass clefs) changing to a singe treble clef.

Aside from practicing, my main use of Band-in-a-Box is to produce lead sheets and simple arrangements for my small jazz groups. I have been doing this using BB techniques I learned many years ago and perhaps I have not always kept up with some of the improvements to notation. Or maybe you used another program and it is just that the music fonts are similar?

I don't know who did the lead sheet. It does look like a BIAB chart though. I just had to correct the errors that were in it. I've since found more correct versions of that tune on the web. The home page of that site is http://www.mindformusic.com/ There are more lead sheets and lots of solo transcriptions. Later, Ray

Here's my lead sheet:
